Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the subjunctive.
Correct: After verbs like 'esperar' (to hope) or 'dudar' (to doubt), use the present subjunctive: 'Espero que no dimita'.
Why: These verbs trigger the subjunctive mood because they express subjectivity.
Mistake: Forgetting the 's' in the 'tú' and 'vosotros' forms.
Correct: The correct forms are 'no dimitas' (tú) and 'no dimitáis' (vosotros).
Why: These are specific endings for the tú and vosotros forms in the present subjunctive.
